The word Janmashtami explains itself, Janma meaning birth and Ashtami meaning eighth day. This word eighth in this has its own meaning, explaining Lord Krishna being the eighth child of his mother, Devaki.
The story of birth of Lord Krishna is different. He was born in a prison in Mathura, India, where his parents were forced by his uncle, Kansa. It was told to Kansa that the eighth born of Devaki, will be the cause of downfall of Kansa. So he killed all the newborns of Devaki. But after that Lord Krishna was born.
At that time the guard were responsible to keep an eye on them but instead they all fell asleep. After which Lord Krishna was sent across the river Yamuna by his father Vasudeva to his foster parents, Yashoda and Nanda.
